Shadow Of Death: Act I: The Elementalists

The elementalists are respected throughout the world. Capable of wielding the elements of earth, fire, water, air, or mind, an elementalist is both a specter of the gods and a servant of the people.

When Gideon watches his world burn around him, he decides to embrace his power and use it to prevent future calamities. Armed with the element of fire, an uncanny talent for swordplay, and an untempered sense of vengeance, Gideon seeks to become the most powerful elementalist in an age. But the trauma of his past threatens to destroy his future.

Meanwhile, a world away, Brighid seeks a teacher who can help her to prevent the seemingly inevitable insanity that her power will bring upon her. Uncertain of the motivations of her masters, Brighid follows the enigmatic man who calls himself Samuel to the darkest reaches of the Ramoth Empire. As the rigors of her training stretch her sanity to the breaking point, the truth of Samuel's motivations is revealed, and it will change Brighid's life forever.
